Cancerland: A Thyroid Cancer Narrative

Filming version two. This is a multimedia exhibit in Second Life about my recent experience with Thyroid cancer. I actually built it before the entire process was finished, but it's designed to give people a sense of what it's like to get a cancer diagnosis, and go through thyroid cancer treatment. It's a visual, audio, and text-based experience; in this video, you will mostly get the audio and visual part of it. The narrative come across in the text, which I realize will be hard to read in this format. For more information about it, go here: http://www.mazar.ca/cancerland/ To see the live exhibit, you can go here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Kula%203/197/86/21

Great...now I'm scared as hell!

Sorry. I'm not in the habit of lying about things; there's way too much of that out there. Talk to your doctor.

Thank you for sharing this. I think I just understood why SL works so fine. One needs to be a skilled writer to describe something in words and make others understand. But in SL it is possible to show them.

That's JUST how I feel about it too!
